A video of Hamas‘ public execution of three Palestinians accused of being “collaborators with Israel” was circulated through Telegram channels associated with the terrorist organization just hours after the recognition of a “Palestinian State” by certain western countries.

The video shows armed men with their faces covered standing over three blindfolded Palestinians, kneeling on the floor with their hands tied behind their backs.

Speaking to the crowd chanting “Allah Akbar,” one of the gunmen described the men as “collaborators who betrayed their country and gave in to the occupation to kill their people. The three Palestinians were shot in the head and body.

According to international media reports, Hamas placed handwriting in Arabic on the bodies to which it was written: “Your treason will not go unpunished. A harsh punishment awaits you.”

The Israeli media outlet Ynet reported that another piece of paper placed on one of the bodies had the message written on it: “Mercenaries of the sword – it’s time to cut off your heads.”

According to Hamas, members of two other terrorist organizations, Islamic Jihad and the Mujahideen brigades, participated in the execution.
